Family

1 Peter 3:8-9 Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless—that's your job, to bless. You'll be a blessing and also get a blessing.

Favouritism destroys family unity - Parents may not always be able to change their feelings but they can always change their actions.

Family responsibilities must be a priority - It is easy to get caught up thinking our work is so important that we can ignore our families. Spiritual leadership must begin at home and we must not allow other activites to detract from our family responsibilities.

Family members should honour each other - If the saviour of the world obeyed his human parents, how much more should we honour the mebbers of our families?

God's commands apply to both parents and children. If our faith is real it will prove itself at home, in our relationships with those who know us best.
